Title: Improvements in Hydrocarbon Vapour Lamps.
Inventor: BRYLINSKI MIROSLAW
IPC: F23D99/00
Filed: 1913-01-30
Granted: 1913-08-14
Abstract: 2454. Brylinski, M. Jan. 30. Raising liquids by heating in pipes.-Liquid-fuel is supplied to a vapour lamp under pressure by forcing it into a closed reservoir by means of vapour generated in a heated reservoir which communicates by a pipe having a suction valve with an open supply reservoir. In the construction, Fig. 1, the vaporizer 1 and the vapour-generating reservoir 13 are heated by a subsidiary burner 2. The vapour-pressure generated in the reservoir 13 forces part of the liquid-fuel through the non-return valve 11 into the reservoir 6, which is closed by a flexible wall 23 loaded with an adjustable spring 21. On the attainment of a certain pressure, the valve 16 is opened by the motion of the rods 18, 20 and ever 19, and the vapour under pressure in the tube 13 is released through the reservoir 14 and pipe 15 and condenses in the open fuel-supply reservoir 7. Liquid forced out of the reservoir 13 is then replaced by fuel which flows into it through the valve 9. In a modification, the heated reservoir is an annular chamber from which the fuel is forced into a closed reservoir communicating with a cylinder closed by an elastic diaphragm which, on the required pressure being attained, moves a refractory shield to protect the annular chamber from the heating-flame. The vapour in the chamber then condenses and produces a vacuum which draws fresh fuel from the supply-reservoir through a non-return valve.
